Turtle Cake

1 box German Chocolate cake mix
1 14 oz bag caramels
1/2 Cup evaporated milk
3/4 cup butter
2 Cups chopped walnuts/pecans
1 cup miniature chocolate chips
Prepare cake mix using package directions.
Pour half of the batter into a greased 9 x 13 baking dish. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes. Melt caramels with evaporated milk and butter in a sauce pan over low heat, stirring constantly. Pour over cake. Sprinkle with 1 cup nuts and 1 cup chocolate chips. Pour remaining batter over filling. Sprinkle with remaining 1 cup nuts. Bake at 350 for an additional 25-30 minutes.

Earthquake Cake

1 cup coconut
1 cup chopped nuts
1 box chocolate cake mix
1 8oz package cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup butter (1 stick) softened
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups powdered sugar
3/4 cup chocolate chips

Grease a 9-by-13-inch pan. Sprinkle nuts and coconut on bottom of pan. Mix cake mix as directed on box. Pour over nuts and coconut.

In a separate mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese, butter, sugar and vanilla with a hand mixer on low to medium-low until well blended (add the sugar about a half cup at a time to prevent a powder explosion). This mixture will look like thick cheesecake batter.

Drop by spoonfuls over the chocolate cake batter, leaving at least a one-inch margin around the sides of the pan (this prevents the cheesecake from bubbling over).

Weave a butter knife in an s-pattern through the batter to create a swirl, but be sure to not disturb the nuts and coconut — keep the knife very shallow. Sprinkle with the chocolate chips.

Bake at 350 degrees for 50 minutes.

Layered Ice Cream Cake

15 Oreos
1 TBS milk
8-9 ice cream sandwiches
1 pint mint chocolate chip ice cream
1 pint vanilla frozen yogurt (I have used vanilla ice cream)
1 pint strawberry ice cream or frozen yogurt
1 container (8 oz) frozen whipped topping thawed
DIRECTIONS
1. Coat bottom and side of a 9-inch round springform pan with nonstick cooking spray. Line side with waxed paper using spray to help adhere to pan. Trim paper to height of pan.
2. Finely crush 12 of the cookies in a food processor. Add milk; pulse just until mixture holds together. Set aside.
3. Unwrap 4 ice cream sandwiches. Working quickly, cut each in quarters. Stack strips of sandwiches on end, packing them snugly together, around waxed-paper-lined pan. Repeat with remaining sandwiches to form a stand-up edge. Spoon cookie crumbs into center of pan; press firmly over bottom. Freeze 1 hour.
4. Remove all 3 flavors of ice cream or frozen yogurt from freezer and let soften for 15 minutes at room temperature. Transfer mint ice cream to a small bowl and stir until good but firm spreading consistency. Repeat with vanilla and strawberry. Remove pan from freezer. Spread mint ice cream on bottom, then top with vanilla and strawberry, spreading all layers level. Top with thawed whipped topping swirling top decoratively. Crush remaining 3 sandwich cookies and sprinkle over cake. Return to freezer; freeze overnight.
5. To serve, remove side of pan, then waxed paper. Cut into wedges.
